Compression
The compressive properties of wood can be determined using a range of specialized fixtures. Each device has been designed to meet a particular standard.
Principle Of Operation
Compression test fixtures are designed to provide high stiffness, accurate deformation measurement and axial loading.
The hardness test fixture uses a compressive ball-penetration technique to measure the force at a defined penetration depth.
Application Range
- Compressive and hardness properties of wood and timber products
